Here is what you can expect

The process begins with an initial assessment at your first appointment. You may be asked to complete one or more questionnaires to help your counselor better understand your concerns, strengths, and goals.

After this information is gathered, we will spend time reviewing it together and develop a goal plan that highlights your strengths and identifies areas where growth and change may be helpful.

This is where counseling truly begins! We will work together to determine the best path forward.

We provide professional counseling and can include Christian practices for clients who want to integrate faith.

For parents and caregivers:
When a child is involved in counseling, parents play an important role in the process. The initial appointment typically includes time to gather background information, discuss concerns, and answer questions. Ongoing parent involvement may include periodic check-ins, guidance, and collaboration to support your child’s growth both in and outside of sessions.
